My first Nomination to the HOS. Simon33

 

Last week there was a noob with a sales thread. He listed 3 books and one was a Harley Quinn Cgc 9.8 I needed for my registry set. His price was 150 and he had no pictures or important details so his thread got poofed. I pm him and offer 125 shipped, he countered with 135 shipped and then me at 130 and he said he's staying at 135. I said I'll get back. He told me is PayPal so it took me a few days to get funds in my Pp acct and then sent the 135 and followed up through pm

Today he says he didn't get it so I resent it this morning. Everything is cool and he says he is going to ship tomorrow morning. A while later he said he is going to refund me cause he sold the book elsewhere. I really needed that book too. He only has 6 posts so I guess he don't care much for this place.

Did you explain to him that selling it to someone else after agreeing to a deal with you wouldn't fly here? You could probably include that in any "I'm nominating you to the probation list PM" that gives him 3 days to post here and either come to his senses or at least try and explain himself.

 

- I'd imagine with all the venues that facilitate selling these days, Instagram, facebook etc.. that some of those place have different etiquette expectations. I don't know. (shrug)

 

I'm confused. If that is the chain of events then where is the deal?

Ok, I need to apologize for a big mistake I've made. I thought I had a spare 9.8 to sell, but an eBay second chance offer came through so I'm going to have to refund your money.

 

I have a raw copy of the Harley Book that I can send you pictures of, I'm fairly certain it will get a 9.8. - yours for $20. I can also send it to get graded and honor your purchase price from today when it comes back in.

 

I'm incredibly sorry for this screw up.

 

I see someone who is trying really hard to make you happy. I do not see a deal in the scenario you described above.

I see that I paid for a book the sum that was told to me. The book was packed and USPS label affixed. I got notification that the book was set to go out tomorrow. You dont see this as a deal?

 

You're twisting a little. lol

 

He countered a price that you did not accept. Instead it seems you wanted to think about it. Then you send funds. The seller after seeing the funds does his dues diligence and prints a label. After realizing his mistake he promptly answers you and offers solutions. I see a seller trying. He may have had it listed in two places but depends on the timeline.

 

No, I do not see where a deal was agreed to. I see a payment made and an assumption that therefore there was a deal.

I see two deals and obviously he took the one that made him the most profit.

I agree, I said I'll get back and I did hold true to that. I was never made aware that the book was available somewhere else. I saw his sales thread poofed so I thought I had this book sewed up. I sent funds yesterday and followed up with a PM. For whatever reason, the funds never got there. We exchanged PMs this morning and I was told to resend and I did and it went through. I was told that the book would ship tomorrow. A label was generated. 1 1/2 hours later I get the bad news.

 

Ok. So thread went poof, book was sold in another venue and then you sent payment. He mistakenly told you to resend before he checked his inventory and the immediately refunded you. Really not seeing an issue.

And that (told to resend $) is when the deal was consummated

 

Seller makes inventory error and we want revenge?

lol

 

Glad we're both lol

 

Not seeing any evidence that he made a deal with you or that he made your deal 1st. (shrug)

 

Saying "I'll get back" in a sales thread here won't get you much and you know that.

Nope. I agree it's not really worthy of any HOS or PL. I just disagree w/your contrarian view of the transaction.

Without a timeline or the seller's input why would the conspiracy theory be the most likely scenario?

I could see if he had 33 copies and over sold a book or two, but its quite clear the inventory in question was just a single book he had in his sales thread here. Hard to loose track of all that inventory. The problem is quite clear the book was offered elsewhere. He was quite content at 9 am this morning with funds in house. The book was packed and label generated. And a follow up PM to say it will ship tomorrow. 10:44 the book becomes no longer available. Inventory problem my :censored:

Not saying conspiracy either. Just saying at the point he said show me the $, and Junkdrawer showed it, there was a deal.

 

Fair enough. If the book was listed on eBay with a 2nd chance offer and unknowingly sold then.....?

I will say that this isn't about revenge. Its about selling something, agreeing, confirming and then backing out. Just thought you'd all would appreciate knowing about this guy. He has in the past cruised through the WTB section trying to make deals. His first ever sales thread poofed and I tried to buy from him regardless. I'm gonna survive and take from it what you will. My intention isnt to harm him, but more alert members here should he try to sell again.

I give up. How long ago was this? We can't look it up on eBay right now?

 

I appreciate the heads up. I just find the story to have too many holes. The "transaction" is not eligible for the PL IMO.
